Covid fears are spreading on Mount Everest, as climbers risk infection to reach the top of the world Climbers rejoiced when Nepal decided to reopen its side of Mount Everest this year, but reports suggest even the world’s highest peak isn’t safe from the spread of coronavirus. Some climbers there have now reported testing positive, despite the Nepali government saying there are no infections on Everest. Erland Ness, a Norwegian climber who was evacuated from Everest Base Camp in late April, confirmed to CNN he tested positive on arrival at a hospital in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. “When I tested positive, it was a shock. And then I realized that the expedition was over for me,” Ness said. “My dream was to reach the summit and see the view.”
